Synopsis

Source of validity: Scientific
Rating (out of 5): 5

The use of "moisture" to treat dehydration is scientifically validated and represents a cornerstone of medical treatment. Dehydration occurs when the body loses more fluids than it takes in, resulting in an insufficient amount of water to maintain normal physiological functions. The primary and most effective intervention for dehydration is the replenishment of lost fluids—essentially restoring moisture—either orally or via intravenous administration in severe cases.

Scientific studies and clinical guidelines universally support the use of water, oral rehydration solutions (ORS), or intravenous fluids (such as saline or Ringer's lactate) to treat dehydration. ORS, in particular, are formulated to replace both water and electrolytes, and have been shown in numerous high-quality studies to reduce morbidity and mortality from dehydration, especially in children with diarrheal diseases. The World Health Organization and Centers for Disease Control and Prevention recommend ORS and fluid replacement as first-line therapy.

The evidence base is robust, with decades of clinical research and epidemiological data supporting the direct relationship between fluid replacement and recovery from dehydration. Thus, the use of moisture (in the form of fluids) to support or treat dehydration is based on strong scientific evidence and is the standard of care in both community and hospital settings.
